It was also because of her camouflage uniform and the confidence and arrogance in her eyes.
"If there's nothing else, Mr. Zheng, would you like to come in and have dinner with us?" Zhou Yue asked gracefully.
The more open and generous Zhou Yue was, the more Zheng Fangshu felt despicable. He couldn't reply to a single word and fled in a sorry state.
Zheng Fangshu's sudden visit did not affect Zhou Yue.
After sitting down again, she introduced the customs of celebrating the New Year in Jiangcheng to Gu Yunzheng and the others. Her poised and generous demeanor was completely different from that of a year or so ago.
Gu Yunzheng and Li Wei left after their meal, saying they would come back to pick up Zhou Yue in a few days.
Upon hearing this, Liang Guiying felt a weight lifted from her heart. However, after closing the door, she couldn't help but ask Zhou Yue for confirmation: "Zhou Yue, you passed all three tests?"
"Yes, I have passed the assessment three times and will return to the unit for closed training after the New Year."
"When can Niannian and I visit our relatives? Or rather, accompany them?"
"At the latest, we can reunite in the army on New Year's Eve next year."
Liang Guiying breathed a sigh of relief and was genuinely happy for Zhou Yue.
She died so tragically in her past life, but in this life she has completely embarked on a different path. That's wonderful.
Zhou Xiaonian stayed snuggled in Zhou Yue's arms, the two women whispering to each other. Liang Guiying didn't disturb them and simply cleaned up the dishes and the stove.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, sweeping and mopping are forbidden, as they are believed to sweep away good fortune. Therefore, she will have to clean the house again in a while.
Zhou Yue came to the kitchen to help her and told her, "I saw my uncle in the army."
"Did you... ask them why they haven't come to see you for over ten years?"
"I didn't ask; I felt it was pointless."
"Do you have close contact with him?"
“We have no contact. The only reason I met him was because he is my father’s brother. It doesn’t mean I acknowledge him as my father.”
Liang Guiying thought for a moment and said, "If you can reunite with the Zhou family, you will be able to relax a lot."
"Didn't you say you still had me? It's only been a little over a year, and you're already thinking of giving up?"
Zhou Yue's question was rather aggressive, and Liang Guiying was not used to her attitude. But then she thought that this was the right attitude, at least she wouldn't be bullied.
Liang Guiying laughed and said, "I'm not willing to back down. I just feel that besides cooking for you every year and earning a little money, I can't help you with anything else."
“I can earn a little money by cooking for Niannian, isn’t that enough?” Zhou Yue said. “Grandma Niannian, I am very grateful to you.”
Liang Guiying's eyes felt a little hot, so she quickly changed the subject: "Oh, right! I was just kidding when I said I was making a little money. I'm making a lot of money. I'll show you my bankbook when we go upstairs!"
Zhou Yue was mentally prepared for the large sum of money Liang Guiying mentioned, thinking it would be at most tens of thousands, since there are quite a few iced drink shops.
However, Liang Guiying managed to accumulate a fortune of over 300,000 yuan in just over a year!
Zhou Yue couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Niannian, are you selling gold? How can you make so much money?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Liang Guiying laughed loudly.
Zhou Yue laughed along with her.
Zhou Xiaonian didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from laughing along.
Laughter filled the courtyard of No. 16 for a moment.
And the new year arrived as scheduled amidst their laughter.
